so id like to arm a thallax model with a traditional close combat weapon, an arm/axe etc.
I'd really like a scythe...
any thoughts on how to do this or what kits might work as good conversion bait?

i thought maybe sicarian ruststalker or infiltrator arms might be cool but im not sure how theyd match up.

any ideas?

Ok so the Thallax kits come with loose arms (in pairs that attach to the guns, which have the hands moulded on) so you don’t need those. You really just need the hands which are two fingers and a thumb arranged on the “cup” side of a ball and socket joint.
Also if you aren’t aware, Thallaxii are big lads, like bigger than primaris marines. Sicarians, despite using the same base, are mostly regular human scale except their spindly legs.
I’ll have a look for some suitable examples and update later.

thanks mr rose.
im trying to represent close combat guys which could be anything, saws, blades etc...
i wonder how ork bionics would look?
ive seen those on buts places pretty readily.
i know that there are the jump pack thallax but im looking for non-jump guys.

im thinking of dark mechanicus...
i wonder how marine arms or ork arms would look... sort of a biomechanical mix.

i just realized that it looks like their arms are not attached to the guns(like you said mr rose)... i thought that they were. this might make my search easier.

FWIW, thallaxii are also jump troops. Their packs are just a little less obvious.

hey mr rose, or anyone looking for that matter
are you familiar with the Krios Battle Tank?
i was wondering how it compares size wise to a predator?
